WORDS FROM THE COACH:
“Jesse has been a starter since his freshman season and we are expecting him to pick up where he left off last year. He was a playmaker on defense (7 sacks & 2 interceptions) and special teams (5 blocked punts) that earned All State and WNEP Dream Team honors. His athleticism (member of track’s 4×100 relay team that went to State Championship meet) will allow him to be versatile on both sides of the ball.”
